Preclinical Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) scanner

MPI is a tomographic imaging technique that detects the magnetic properties of iron-oxide nanoparticles injected into the bloodstream to produce threedimensional images. The new technology, invented by Philips, and first introduced in a 2005 Nature paper, gave rise to a high aspirations for a new era in biological imaging.

Now Bruker has combined its expertise in technological innovation with its passion for pushing the boundaries of understanding, and launched the previously only envisioned possibilities to the imaging community.

1,000 Times Faster Than PETWith MPI, imaging of up to 46 volumes per second can be performed, allowing real time imaging of biological processes at an equal or higher spatial resolution than with PET.

100% Animal VisualizationMPI measures the 3D distribution of injected iron oxide nanoparticles using a 25 kHz RF signal. This signal can easily be recorded from any depth within the animal allowing complete flexiblity in choosing areas of interest.

Unimagined Temporal ResolutionThe ability to acquire high time-resolution images in a matter of milliseconds allows for novel applications in medical and industrial research and ultimately patientcare in which temporal resolution is key.
